    Glee beauty, Lea Michele has taken time away from her acting career to pursue a different-but not that different-endeavor. The 27-year-old debuts single, “Canonball” in a beautifully constructed music video.

    “Cannonball” was directed by Robert Hales. The gorgeously styled video is thanks Estee Stanley.

    The video begins in a dark, dismal setting that comes off as lost and lonely. The camera pans to a vulnerable-looking Michele sitting, looking down. Immediately viewers are thrown into an experience that transforms into a bright, hopeful video. The sun slowly starts to peek into the room coinciding with a faster beat throughout the song.

The album Louder is the very first solo album for Michele. The 11-track album is scheduled for release on February 28.
